Problem
Outline an experiment that could measure the speed of sound in air. Make sure you include
- the equipment required,
- the measurements you need to make (and the instruments you would use to make them),
- the uncertainty you would expect in each measurement,
- how you would manipulate the data to calculate the speed of sound in air and
- how you will find the uncertainty in your value for the speed of sound in air.
